Hi I have a Husqvarna 1+ when the pressor foot is in the down position a warning indicator states that the pressor foot is not down and the machine will not function.Any sugestions would be greatly apreciated.Ellen

Take a Measure

With the presser foot in the down position, measure from the Needle plate of the machine to the center of the thumb screw of the ankle of the machine (the part that the presser foot snaps on to).

Low Shank - measures ½"
High Shank - measures 1"

Most consumer machines are low shank. There is probably not a walking foot that is made for this machine but there may be some third party suppliers that have a walking foot that will work. Stitchery Sewing Machine Attachments Needle and Thread

Perhaps you accidently moved the switch that enables free hand embroidery? It's up and under next to the pressor foot lever. Slides forward and backward. Forward the pressor foot will go all the way down to the feed dogs. Slid back and it keeps the foot up off the feed dogs but allows the thread tension to work properly. It would be easy to accidently move it when operating the pressor foot raise/lower lever.

Does the foot pedal go up and down or is it stuck in one position? The foot pedal is quite expensive so I would recommend trying to have it repaired if possible. Otherwise, check eBay or other 3rd party vendors for a replacement. You can find a dealer near you by using the link 'Locate a Dealer' at the Husqvarna Viking Website - http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/us for them to determine if your foot pedal can be repaired.

open it up and lubricate that shaft with vaseline..or vegetable oil..work it up and down.. may be just stiff..

Does your machine have a two stage presser foot position?

here's some suggestions
need new needle
needs to be rethreaded top & bobbin
needs to be cleaned under the needle plate & in the bobbin area
for lint
the wrong foot is being used
if none of these suggestion help then the machine may have to
be checked

Place the foot under the arm while arm is in up position. Put arm in down position and foot should snap into place (line it up where it is supposed to go together before lowering the arm).

it is like regular pressor foot but is wider

There is an in- between setting. It's not up, but not down either. Does that make sense? If you put the lever up, then bring it down slowly and kind of push it to the back. Hope this helps!
